The 25,000,000th Ford car rolled off the Ford Rouge Plant pro duction line on January 18, 1937. 25 million cars since 1903 . . . more than one-third of all the cars ever built , . . enough cars to transport the entire population of the United States. The figures represent a remarkable contribution to the social welfare, the industrial stability and the general progress of our country. People respect Ford efficiency. They know Ford uses fine materials, the best workmanship at good wages, the most exact precision measurements. They know these things are passed along to purchasers in the form of extra value. Naturally, they like to do business with such a company. That is the only reason it has been required to produce 25 million cars. Naturally, too, they expect more of a Ford car, more this year than last year more each year than the year before. They have every right to. The experience gained in building 25,000,000 cars en ables Ford to produce today a really superb motor car at a really low price with the Beauty, Comfort, Safety and Performance of much more ex pensive cars. The 1937 Ford V-8 combines ad vanced design, all-steel construction, extra body room, and brilliant brakes with a choice of two V-type 8-cylin-der engines the most modern type of power-plant on land, sea, or in the air. The 85-horscpower engine provides top performance with unusually good economy for its high power. The 60-horsepower engine gives good performance with the greatest gasoline mileage ever built into a Ford car and wears the lowest Ford price tag in years. People expect more of a Ford car because it's a Ford and they get more, for the same reason. It IJjfyOj) " undeniably the quality car in the low-price field. FORD MOTOR COMPANY
